It's amazing how long that list is. I think part of the reason is that our managers have never had the same faith in Kuipers as the more vocal sections of our support.
For me the top three are
Beasant
Flinders
Roberts

I love Kuipers and he's possibly the best shot stopper we've had, but he still flaps at crosses and can't kick or throw the ball out like the better keepers.

Beasant and Roberts were premiership keepers. They have to be the best, surely? I love Kuipers but I don't think I can call him the best. My favourite by far but possibly not the best. As for the others that I've seen...mediocre at best(that includes Henderson-although based only on two games- but not Flinders as I've not seen him play).

Apart from that time he threw his toys out of the pram and went to Boston. And spent half a season on the transfer list.

Kuipers wouldn't be here now if Roberts wasn't seriously unlucky with injury.

That said Kuipers is still the second best in that list.

by the same token though, roberts would never have joined us if he wasn't seriously unlucky with injury
